Get the latest insights on the Rams vs. Bears matchup, including odds, expert picks, player news, and injury updates. Discover key trends and stats to help you predict the outcome of this highly anticipated game.

The Los Angeles Rams (1-2) are gearing up for a battle in the Windy City, facing off against the Chicago Bears (1-2) at the iconic Soldier Field this Sunday.

Last week, the Rams pulled off a **miraculous comeback** against their division foes, the San Francisco 49ers. In a jaw-dropping final 6:15, they outscored the Niners 13-0 to clinch their first victory of the season, despite a slew of injuries that looked like a hospital’s patient list.

Rookie quarterback **Caleb Williams** showed his mettle, airing it out 52 times and notching the first two touchdown passes of his career. Yet, it wasn’t enough to stave off the Colts, who held on for a 21-16 win.

Matchup Breakdown

The Rams are dealing with injuries that have hit their wide receivers hard. Still grappling with the massive void left by the retired Aaron Donald, the Rams have their hands full. On the other side, **Chicago** simply can’t run the ball, feeling as futile as trying to push a boulder uphill. This must change, at least until their rookie QB finds his rhythm.

Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of this matchup and uncover some bets that might tickle your fancy.

Best Bets for Rams vs. Bears

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) turns his attention to the prop market:

“I like **Kyren Williams** (-150) to find the end zone against the Bears. Tied for the NFL lead with 4 TDs, Williams has been as reliable as a Swiss watch, scoring in every game and striking pay dirt twice in the win over the 49ers.”
